[SOLVED]--PDF Library and "Import Library" error
Feb 11th, 2010, 8:35am  
Hi all,
I have a problem with PDF Library and I don't know if this is the right section on the forum to post about it.
I have Processing 1.0.9 and I cannot run examples from the PDF Library (the default one).

This is taken from "One Frame" default example:
/**
* One Frame.
*
* Saves one PDF with the contents of the display window.
* Because this example uses beginRecord, the image is shown
* on the display window and is saved to the file.  
*/


import processing.pdf.*;

size(600, 600);

beginRecord(PDF, "line.pdf");

background(255);
stroke(0, 20);
strokeWeight(20.0);
line(200, 0, 400, height);

endRecord();

////
if i run this code i have this error:
Exception in thread "Animation Thread" java.lang.RuntimeException: You need to use "Import Library" to add processing.pdf.PGraphicsPDF to your sketch.
     at processing.core.PApplet.makeGraphics(PApplet.java:1192)
     at processing.core.PApplet.createGraphics(PApplet.java:1085)
     at processing.core.PApplet.beginRecord(PApplet.java:6869)
     at OneFrame.setup(OneFrame.java:32)
     at processing.core.PApplet.handleDraw(PApplet.java:1402)
     at processing.core.PApplet.run(PApplet.java:1327)
     at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:637)

To other people here in the class the example is working.
What could it be?
Thank you very much.

Perhaps re-install Processing?

Strange, since other students have it working.
What is your platform?
Do you use Java shipped with Processing?
Ensure you have itext.jar and pdf.jar files in <Processing install dir>/libraries/pdf/library

With the help of Brendan, a smart technician of Culture Lab @Newcastle University, I solved the problem.
I just moved the pdf library folder from inside processing.app to my external libraries folder and this solved the problem.
I forgot to mention that my platform is Mac.
Thank you.
